The Amadeus code. Forget Leonardo da Vinci: sleuths looking for hidden messages in art will find plenty in classical music, which is full of mystery and cryptic clues
Your link doesn't seem to be working.

On the one hand, I wish someone would make a great web page on Berg's Lyric Suite. It would be wonderful to pore over for this sort of the thing.

On the other hand, I think it's a mistake to overcerebralize most music. If not a mistake, at least a very low priority, particularly for stuff from the proper Classical period. Games and codes were optional icing for a bored genius whose first job was to write music that sounded good and communicated as music, not as printed pages.

It is working for me now. No offense, but it's a dumb article. It reeks of the bare minimum "research" necessary to satisfy the ongoing need for something - anything - interesting to say in the year OMGMOZART250.
